of the weather today. little gloomy in cape may. we had some light showers earlier but those have since cleared out. overcast skies along the shore, mid 70s for cape may right now. humidity is higher right along the shore points as well and the delaware beaches, but elsewhere, humidity's low and temperatures are at about the mid to low 80s, feeling comfortable. pottstown 82 degrees. 86 in philadelphia. 82 glassboro. 87 degrees bensalem and most of south jersey and delaware, where we have seen most of the cloud cover today, right around 80 degrees. atlantic city airport, right at 79 degrees. but we will see high pressure building in this weekend and what that's going to do is give more sunshine to the shore points and beaches. so right now, we do see the rain clearing out. it's well offshore but here's what we have seen over the past four hours. we had the rain kind of hanging on in sussex county, rehoboth beach up to cape may but finally it has moved out. it will take the thicker clouds with it. big area of low pressure in the

atlantic will be moving away but another one off north carolina will stay offshore as we go into the weekend, increasing our risk for rip currents again. as you see, we go into saturday. the low moves away and the second one, that will stay to our south. it won't move in. what it could do early tomorrow is still provide some cloud cover along the shore points and the delaware beaches. there's a chance we could see a stray shower out of that. most of the area will stay dry. then we go into sunday and high pressure kind of stays in control. still giving us the mostly sunny skies. for the poconos this weekend, the upper 70s both saturday and sunday, just about mostly sunny. for the shore and delaware beaches, the moderate to high rip current risk will be there saturday and sunday. so both weekend days. we expect it to be the windiest as we go into saturday so you will notice the winds tomorrow. for sunday, not as windy but the rip current risk will still be there. temperatures in the low 80s along the shore by sunday. tonight, mostly clear, pretty nice. clouds could be lingering just to the south. 67 for the low in philadelphia.

today meeting with neighbors in north philadelphia. >> better safety for the kids. >> reporter: there was no shortage of complaints. overgrown trees, vacant homes and trash piling up. >> we try to bounce back as a community to go forward and how can you, with the ground sinking underneath us and people shooting everybody every which way you turn? >> reporter: councilwoman cindy bass organized the street department, sanitation and public safety representatives to write down people's issues. she hopes it builds trust and leads to an increase in reporting problems. >> the don't snitch rule and retaliation, it's real. people down here feel that it's real. so we want to make sure they know they have support. >> you need to go talk to the people to see what their issues are. >> reporter: the city workers definitely listened today but neighbors wondered if they would see any action soon. how are you going to follow up with these folks? >> our staff will follow up on each and every item we take down

look at some of christ auie's performance last night. this is an exchange he had with rand paul over the bulk collection of phone records by the nsa. >> that's a completely ridiculous answer. i want to collect more records from terrorists but less records from other people. how are you supposed to know? listen, senator, when you're sitting in a subcommittee blowing hot air about this, you can say things like that. when you're responsible for protecting the lives of the american people, then what you need to do is to make sure that -- >> here's the problem. >> boy, there were a lot of fireworks last night. we knew there would be. that exchange we just saw really highlighted the difference between how the two would lead and govern and their understanding of the constitution. j.j., is that the kind of moment that will help christie? >> sure it will. as you pointed out, he started the debate in ninth place with 4% of the vote. he does have no place to go but up. however, the reality is i think

he did exactly what he wanted to do. he used his experience to talk about how he fought terrorism as u.s. attorney and he also distanced himself from the washington crowd, from all those senators he basically called them all blowhards. that's what he wanted to do. >> we talked earlier about christie's comments about punching the teachers union in the face. who is he trying to appeal to here and do you think that it will help him or will it hurt him? >> well, i think it's pretty clear he's trying to appeal to donald trump's voters. i think he, like a lot of people, think that donald trump, this may be a summer fling but it won't last once labor day comes around and people start to get serious. in some ways i think donald trump is eating chris christie's natural constituency. so what he's trying to do, in a two-hour debate, chris christie only was able to speak for about six minutes. so he's trying to make the most of those six minutes when he makes inflammatory statements like that. >> do you think that he will eat

away at some of donald trump's supporters? the poll numbers have shown trump only increasing. >> that's true. but it's a long way until people start to vote next year. >> you think that it could be just a fling right now and the numbers will start to change the closer we get to election time? >> i think it's possible. i think as it gets closer to election i imagine people in both parties will get more serious about figuring out who they want to represent their party in the general election. who they think can win. >> long way to go. j.j. balaban, thank you for your time. >> thank you. well, most of the area today saw nice weather but some parts saw a little rain. now we are tracking the possibility of that rain as we go into the weekend. i will show you the weekend forecast and what you can expect along the shore. plus how a special camp is helping children get excited about engineering at a very early age.

i think it's everybody working collectively as a unit, from coaching to players. whereas last year, we weren't always on the same page of how we saw different things. different rooms saw it different ways. i think collectively everybody sees the playbook and the scheme the same exact way. >> reporter: he said they weren't always on the same page last year but it is a new chapter. basically a new book this year. more eagles coverage coming up at 6:20. who could be one of the surprises on the birds' offensive side of the ball? we're not talking about him a lot. i'm john clark. back to you. >> thank you very much. >> you're ready for football season. everyone is. we are still more than a week away from the eagles first preseason game. if you need that pro football fix, tune in to nbc 10 this sunday for the hall of fame game. >> the vikings face off against the steelers in the first game of the nfl preseason. you can see it right here on nbc 10. coverage starts on sunday at 8:00 p.m.

most of the area today saw really nice conditions, sunny skies, low humidity. but the rain stayed mainly south for new jersey and delaware. this is mostly offshore rain now. new jersey and delaware still hanging on to a lot of that cloud cover. over the weekend we will be seeing improving conditions along the shore. that will also come with a rip current risk. that risk will get higher both saturday and sunday. another area of low pressure will pass by offshore. nice look out at center city right now. if you have friday evening plans, we will stay on the dry side tonight. philadelphia looking at just about mostly to partly cloudy skies. temperature in the mid 80s. humidity is still down around 35%. it will be staying low to start off the weekend. low 80s north and west. 82 degrees reading and pottstown, west chester. mid to upper 80s for bensalem. 87 degrees. 84 in wilmington. 81 dover and glassboro. 79, atlantic city where we are holding on to a little more
